Hi, Based on http://jacobian.org/writing/dynamic-form-generation I have now managed to create a data driven form (hooray :-)
Basically I'm reading field names from a database and append to a ModelForm in its __init__ method: View: equipments = equipment.objects.filter(category__in=request_extra_cat).order_by('category__name','name') for equip in equipments: fields.append(equip) form = AddRequestForm(request.POST or None, extra=fields) # pass extra fields Form: def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): extra = kwargs.pop('extra') # Get extra fields super(AddRequestForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) for i, question in enumerate(extra): if 'notes' in question.name: self.fields['custom_%s' % question.id] = forms.CharField(label=question.name, required=False, widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'rows':'10', 'class':'input-xxlarge'})) else: self.fields['custom_%s' % question.id] = forms.ChoiceField(label=question.name, choices=REQUEST_NUMBERS, required=False, widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class':'span1'})) Because I have groups of fields that belong together, I would like to add a header to each group of form fields. The perfect solution would be to use a <fieldset> tag, but it also would be OK if I could just add a <h4>Header</h4> . The only problem is, how do I know how I can access the field that contains the grouping information inside the template. For html tables I use the following solution with ifchanged: {% for document in documents %} {% ifchanged %}<tr class="info"><td colspan="8">{{ document.category.name }}</td></tr>{% endifchanged %} The problem is that the list of fields (form.visible_fields) does not have the group information to do this in the form template: {% for field in form.visible_fields %} <div class="control-group"> {% ifchanged field.groupID %}<h4>{{ field.category.name }}</h4>{% endifchanged %} #### THIS DOES NOT WORK <label class="control-label" for="{{field.id_for_label}}">{{ field.label }} {% if field.field.required %} <span class="text-error">*</span> {% endif %} </label> Any idea how I could achieve what I want? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
